This is probably going to be of limited interest, but I was looking for a car charger that would charge my various mini-usb device and live in the armrest. I wanted something low profile enough that I could charge a cell phone with the armrest closed. That way, on a long trip, I can keep my phone charged and connected to Idrive via bluetooth.

It turns out that the OEM blackberry chargers than you can get for like $5 on Amazon fit perfectly, and they can charge most Blackberry phones, Motorola devices, Android phones, and probably the new Windows phones as well.

I just upgraded to an HTC One X from Moto Atrix, which was a piece of crap. The Costco deal includes a bonus pack, but the car and wall combination charger would not fit in the armrest, in fact it would not even fit on a wall outlet if the outlet is shared. How can someone be allowed to design something like that?

I actually upgraded to an iPhone 4S first, but the screen was just too small to enjoy a good HD movie on it, and it does not wrap the text to fit the screen after pinch and zoom. Back to Android.

i've got this thing, and can plug any of the USB wires i have into it, fits fine.

You can buy those at any CVS pharmacy store for a $1. They have them right by the checkout. They also have a blister pack in the electronics area that comes with a cable and the wall charger as well.

You can also get a charge by plugging into the USB port under the armrest, but in my experience it charges at only about half the rate. The bonus is that is stays powered up for some time after the car is shut off.

This is what I saw at CVS, not $1 but $14. It did have two USB ports I guess can charge two phones.
